Full details on Soundgarden’s new album Telephantasm

Information on the new Soundgarden album was released
earlier this morning.

As previously
reported the band will have a “new,” unreleased song
“Black Rain,” featured in the upcoming Guitar Hero: Warriors of
Rock video game, which hits store shelves Sept. 28. New is in
quotes because the song is an unreleased b-side from the band’s
Badmotorfinger recording sessions.

Today it was announced that 1 million copies of the
game will also come bundled with Soundgarden’s highly anticipated
career retrospective album “Telephantasm.” This will be the first
time a game in the Guitar Hero series will be released with a music
album. The track list for the 12-song album reads like a greatest
hits album with 11 songs previously released and “Black Rain”
acting as the lone unreleased song. Songs for the album are taken
from the Deep Six EP, Screaming Life EP, Fopp EP, Ultramega
OK, Louder Than Love, Badmotorfinger, Superunknown and Down on the
Upside (Full track list below the jump).

The album will also be released as a
standalone CD for the non-video game crowd to buy on Oct. 5. That
same date will see the release of a deluxe edition of Telephantasm
that will include a second CD and a DVD of music videos and
unreleased live recordings. The second CD in the set will include
24 tracks total including four live cuts. There will also be a
triple-vinyl LP version with two CDs and one DVD available that
will have special packaging. The record will be released on
A&M/UME.
